:-( It's of course fair game since this is not a release-critical bug, but… > It is possible to install the latest libraries from Stretch on a Jessie > system and not the clients; you *might* have for example have problems > if you continue running the Jessie heimdal-kdc with the libraries from > Stretch. However the solution is simple: upgrade the clients too. That's what my suggested Breaks: addition was intended to document and enforce. IIRC the issue came to my attention while backporting openafs 1.8.0~pre1 to jessie from experimental. One then has a choice between reverting a patch to openafs (which will then break when libroken is upgraded) or upgrading libroken as well (which will break old clients). > As it > recommended practise when updating from Stretch to Jessie in fact. You must have meant "from Jessie to Stretch".
